Some animals are really smart by human standards. ‘Animal type’ can be a thing, like a primate version of the whole personality type thing, and there are more options to choose from. It’s just that some distinctive characteristics of these creatures match way too more with humans.
The animals I’m about to list is going to be from the top 10 and no offence to all the smart animals out there. We only know a little about how they think because we can only examine their outer behaviour. And who knows better than humans that how big the inner world can be.
5. Elephant
Everyone loves elephants. It is nature’s majestic creation, the only great thing that’s harmless. They represent kindness, gentleness, a big heart and massive memory. They understand that every individual is unique. Not only they show empathy, compassion and honour, but they also have funerals. Elephants are what emotions are all about.
And even though elephants have a bigger heart and brain than anyone else out there, they’re afraid to express or approach it, because elephant people accept authority without a single doubt. They do what they’re told. They’re wounded by love. They do not like to be rude to people who hurt them. They do not like to think that the world isn’t perfect. They’re loyal to the wrong people. They’re sweet but vague.
The memory of intelligent life on earth is stored in the genes and images of the elephant’s mind and humanity might be a deadly prick in that memory. But they do find us cute. No one can truly understand an elephant person, they can get aggressive sometimes but their aggression can be justified, most of the times.
4. Pigs
The pig is the 4th smartest animal. And pigs are just like the blunt significance of the 4th position and how it is ignored. The pig represents the misjudged and ignored people. They are the ones with a clean heart but people believe it’s dirty. They self-pity themselves. It is said that the pig is ashamed of its tears. Once it’s ashamed, there is no meaning to life. There’s no confidence. Pigs are shamed and humans are too because we laugh when we think of pigs flying.
Our skin are eyelashes are almost like pigs. They are the smartest of all domestic animals. And of course, there are sweet cow people, the sheep people and the innocent chicks misbehaved by their so-called owners but they ain’t smart. There’s a poem about a pig by Roald Dahl that thinks about life and kills its owner. Only because the pig understood he was going to make bacon of her. People are made bacon of in corporations.
Pigs have the intelligence of a 3-year-old child. They’re social and intelligent, but something about the pig always seems off. It’s the same with most people. It is the blissful ignorance that those pigs and men enjoy the lazy boredom.
3. Crow
The intelligence of a crow can be compared to that of a 7-year-old human child. It is the smartest animal because it thinks of the future a lot, communicates abstract concepts, remembers people and cars for years and takes revenge on them.
Crow people are pricks, jerks and shitheads. They have a strong sense of self awareness and pride. They cannot put themselves in the next person’s position. They do not try to understand and feel other people’s feelings. They do not get hurt easily and when they do, they blame someone for it.
Crows have been observed to use some tools better than chimpanzees. They’re not a bit shy to ‘caw’ loudly. Crow people derive satisfaction from domination. They like to bully and pull others down, just to fancy their own self image.
2. Rat
Rat is the animal that has colonized every continent in the world. Humans have placed them in Antarctica too. Rats can differentiate between the good and bad (of their world) which is a difficult concept even for humans. They’re the survivors. They’ll run and bite and hide their whole life for survival. The rat represents the poor man, the loathsomeness he holds, and how unfortunate they’ve been.
The rat person is born in a mess. He’ll only learn what he sees from the grassroots economic status, which is the constant fading of morale. And no one can blame the rat for there’s no such thing as opportunities for it. It is deprived of love, possession and respect since its birth. The poor man is powerless. He doesn’t care how he is governed because there’s only one aim in his life, to have food on a plate for the next night. There are always little problems in life still.
Rats are honest indeed, creative in their day-to-day job and conversations, but they’ve got a quick temper and they’re wasteful. The essence of a rat person’s life lies in the bottom of the glass of the drink he takes that night. He sees his reflection, and doesn’t like it, then wants the glass to be filled again. We’ve all seen dead rats and drunk people who sleep on the road. They’re essentially the same.
1. Dolphin
Dolphin is the perfect animal. It’s intelligent, curious, social and has a good sense of humour. Dolphins are magnificent and they know how to feel themselves in the water but most of all, they’re at peace with themselves.
People who are like dolphins are very rare but they do exist. They’re the ones who can give unconditional love. They’re the artists of their own life. They understand what makes them human, or dolphin. They live in perfect harmony between the water and the air, which is simply the sadness and happiness of the inner world. Dolphin people are filled with wonder and joy, and they have the purest smile.
There’s a dolphin inside everyone. But we rush to make something expected of our soul and heart that seems nice but isn’t us. Just like we rush to fall in love, we rush to imitate others. Every human being has to explore and find out who he/she is for oneself, no one in the world can help. The world would be a lot better if human beings realize the dolphin or the goodness inside them.
Thank you so much for reading! I wish the animal inside you vitality and satisfaction. But there’s no animal inside you. You’re the animal. Just kidding, you beautiful bloody bastards!
A moment to breathe between smokes A lover’s hand soft replica of emotions fear and pleasure her smile holding the wine as elegant as posture of her hand as the ashes fall she takes the last puff as the eyes slowly close themselves she laughs at the counter man It wasn’t told to her and me the secrets of human relationship we did not imitate rudeness We knew they didn’t feel enough they couldn’t take enough she imitates me I imitate her she asks for the bill and tells me “Let’s split” “The bill only?” “No.” she replies.
We’re nothing in front of Divine ladies who often get Mistaken for sluts Their genuineness becomes Too much Or, perhaps, their smiles May be too ‘lovely’ and ‘sweet’ For toxic men to handle
We’re nothing in front of A beggar’s child A saint-to-be A collapsed house A white man’s dream
And we become nothing If one looks at the mirror for half an hour If one stops to see a tree Without a stupid thought in mind We’re nothing in front of The reflections looking back
Though we strive hard To be something to show the world It’s still by the world’s standards Everyone other than me Has the same sorrow, more or less It is still a dark, dark night Nothing to be seen inside
